Work
Artists, like some mothers, frequently love those of their children best who have caused them the greatest pains. (Robert Schumann, 19th century German composer)
Have you sometimes struggled in your work, just as an artist may have over his work? Sometimes it takes extra time and work just to complete a particular project. What is it that has given you the most satisfaction in your work? The work that came easy or the work you really labored over? The real question is: “Will your work stand the test when it is judged?”
If any man builds . . . his work will be shown for what it is . . . and the fire will test the quality of each man’s work (1 Corinthians 1:12-13).
